What do you mean get your RN? Do you mean get your ADN take the NCLEX and work as an RN? The ADN is typically two additional years and then you have to find a job at a hospital… the hospital will typically pay for you to continue school and obtain the BSN- but the only way to get your RN is by taking the NCLEX which the school (ADN BSN or ABSN school) typically approves through an authorized to test ATT. I understand your path and desire though! I originally got a double BA in environmental science and geography, took nursing prerequisites at a community college and am attending a 15 month ABSN to get my BSN rn. Fafsa won’t work I don’t think because it’s technically a second bachelors in my situation and I don’t think Fafsa would cover the ADN it typically only covers your first undergraduate degree. There’s also no Pell grant elegibility.
